11 OSnlllvan in Donahues Mag

It was a Christmas ovo in th Black
Forest Tho whirling snow louohod
the tree top tho starry flakes clung
to tho branches or fluttered down
pure as rcso potals waflod about on
tho broath of angels Soon the
frozen earth was hidden from view
nnd a groat white world waited in
soloinu expectation tho coming of
tho Christ child
Sileuco lay upon tho forest Tho
charcoal burners tonded their
smouldering Bros and dreamed of
homo or with simple faith listened
for tho shophordH message and tho
auRolb songs
When tho midnight hour was nigh
a sound broko tho stillnoss tho wail
of a child in distress Tho charcoal
humors crossed thomsolves and hud
dled closer to thoir fires
Tis tho cry from Bothlehom
said Johaun rovorently Tho Christ
child is born
No child of Black Forest
would bo abroad to night asked
Hiiiip uneasily it might not bo ouo
of our litllo children
Not so asserted Michael a
sturdy giaut No hausmuttor iu
tho Black Forest could be so caro
less Content thee Han thy little
ones suuk in their cot droam of tho
angel whllo thy goud frau guards
their sleep Tt is as Johaun Bays
tho echo from Bslblehmu or mayhap
wo havo nodded and dreamed
Hans was silent but pjesoutly
atolo away into the snow wreathed
depths of the forest A voico in his
heart was urging him on
May tho star of Bothlohom guido
mo aright ho prayed If a child
be abroad this holy night lead mo
dear God to Thy littlo one
Again the wail of distross smote
upon his ear a sob was tho answer to
his prayer and stooping down tho
charcoal burner lifted from tho snow
a babe scantily wrapped in swad
dling clothes Its foeblo strength
was almost spent -so placing it iu
his breast Hans sped through tho
forest toward his home
Tho hausmuttor sat by hor babes
hor face beautiful with motherly
love radiaut iu tho glow of tho
Christmas lights burning on tho
humblo tree
And so Haus found hor
I havo brought thoo one more
Grethchen he said as ho placed the
babo on hor bosom Succor it for
tho Christ childs sake
Who was bnru to night answer
ed tho mother goutly and hor love
flowed out to tho waif warming it
back to lifo
The slumboriug children stirred
and wakened aud sooiug the
stranger roso from their cot and
prosently the hut rang with their
rejoicing Tho lights on the tree
twinkled like stars Tho children
bore their guest toward it loaded
him with choicest gifts and played
about merrily Hans and Gretohon
looking on a great content in thoir
hearts
Suddouly a radianco not of oarth
illuminated the humblo abodo the
waif was encircled by a glory that
deepened and spread till tho char
coal burners hut beoamo as nn ante
chamber of heavon Haus and
Grotohen fell on thoir kneos iu
adoration Tho baby they had har
bored was passiug from thoir vision
floating upward as if borne on
angels wings his tiny hands out
spread iu parting benediction
Tho ohildren wopt for the loss of
their playmate
Hush thoo my darlings whisper
ed tho mother Kuow you twas
the dear Christ child who came to
us and hath returned to hoaven
To morrow thy father shall show
thoo tho spot whoro ho found tho
holy babe
Wliou tho morrow camo Hans lod
tho little oues into tho forest and
whoro had been a bod of snow lol
tho flowors bloomod groat waxen
blossoms with hearts of gold aud
petals like silkon floss
ThoOhrist floworsI oriod littlo
Greta and kneoling bofore thorn as
at a shrine the peasants solemnly
recorded a vow to succor oach Christ
U
mas Day EOnu poor child iu honor
of tho holy ouo who had beon thoir
guest
And so iu tho Black Forest is
still told this logoud of how tho
ohrysanthotnuins or Christ- llowora
came
Opium in Formoau
Formosa liko China is opium
cursed What was to bo done A
practical examination of tho ques
tion soon showed that to onforco tho
law would drivo a largo portion of
tho inhabitants back to tbolr main
land of China To carry mch a
rogulation into offoct at ouco would
produco physical t ffects which wore
uuthought of The loading advisors
of tho government aftor investiga
tion changed thoir opinions and it
was finally resolved not without
strong opposition to license thesalo
of opium It is to bo sold only to
those over tho age of 20 who havo a
physioiaus certificate that they havo
been addicted to its use Only regu
larly licensed dealors aro pormilted
to sollit aud thoy aro not to sell it
to a Japanese on ponalty of death
It is intended wholly to stamp out
its use and sale in the course of a
low years 4 It may bn that tho
change may come sooner for wliilo
the opiuion of tho government has
been in accord with what has beon
above slated tho now Ministry just
organized may havo a different view
Couut Okunia tho new Minister for
Foreign Affairs sars Who says it
is impossible to prohibit the use of
opum Wh says that it is imprac
ticable to entirely provont tho smug
gling of opium into Formosa Per
sous who say these things are weak
hearted and unwise Thus while
tho policy of the past has been ouo
rather of conciliation and gradual
removal of tho evil the voice of a
strong body of the people may bo
heard to shut out the traflio at onco
But Japan has dono much for
Formosa iu this short time besides
subdue it Abriof review of what
has been undertaken shows soino
thing of the zeal with which she has
begun hor work Ami it must bo
rouiembcrod that most of what is
hero spokon of has been undertaken
within tho past nine mouths for lit
tle could be doue before tho close of
tho last yar on account of tho reb
ellious and I his year there havo beon
frequent interruptions from up
risings iu various parts In somo
ways the govommout has not boon
able to carry out in practico what it
proposed ot tho boginniug This is
true iu rogard to the opium traffic
for example When Formosa was
given over to Japan at the timp of
the Shirnonoseki treaty Li Hung
Chang aud Marquis Ito discussed
tho question and Ito then said that
tho Japanese Govommout would
suppress the usn of opium Li said
it could not be done It ia woll
known that Japan stands a sworn
enemy to opium its importation
into Japan being forbiddon on heavy
penalty even somo well known Am
erioan patout raedioiuos being uu
ablo to pass the customs of Japan

A powerful and portable light for
oxtorior illumination suoh as in tho
case of railway accidents or military
operations has boon brought out iu

Tho apparatus consists of a tank
containing the supply of oil potro

of firo from tho flamo Tho light is
originated by automatiu evaporation

vapors aro converted into gas
